2.Yes. And? Like I've said before, the only response I have to "But I don't have model X." is, "Get some?" Well, the other response I have is "Well, then your army will forever be sub-par." But, that doesn't sound nice. I mean, you can make a fairly decent list out of the regular Marines. But, Cult choices are better no matter which way you shake the sauce bottle.
3.Obliterators are Heavy Support. Obliterators are not Havocs. Therefore, Obliterators are good. Especially off Deep Strikes with Melta weapons. Well, your Troops are in Rhinos, right? And in your opponent's DZ with Icons during the second turn, right?
4. Give him a Disc of Tzeentch. Have a legit use for Raptors. Give them the Mark of Tzeentch. Pretend that they're Terminators and run them straight up the middle of the board (well, reasonably, depending on cover/terrain). Its units like this that really put your opponent off-guard. Homebrewers win.
5. In that case, Ordnance is your friend. Take Vindicators, Defilers or Deep Striking Obliterators. Against not-Land Raiders, remember that Obliterators are also a reasonably priced, reasonably durable source of Relentless Lascannons to deal with things from your side of the board on Turn 1. Obliterators can do anything! Use that to your advantage. Find that they work. Take more.
6. Berzerkers are surprisingly good against Terminators. More attacks = More failed armour saves.
